Maputo to Kruger!

Good Morning Everybody!

We just finished off a great time in Africa with a day and a half at South Africa's Kruger National Park!  It was a fantastic time of experiencing God's creatures.  I'm simply stunned at the shear SIZE of the animals here!  Hippos, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, and so much more!  We saw almost EVERY animal that we wanted to see!  Praise God!

On Monday, we dropped off some of our co-travelers and headed up here to Nelpsruit, South Africa with our hosts, a simple two hour drive across the border from Maputo, Mozambique.  We have stayed a couple wonderful evenings at a missionary guest house here and now will be heading to the airport shortly to embark on our 32 hour trek back to Cissna Park.

Our time here in Africa has been an intense time of learning and exposure to more of God's kingdom and purposes for His people on this earth.  We are both anxious to have some time to digest it all and get a better feeling for what all we have seen, heard, and done.  We see the signs of spiritual life here and passion in the people...so now we pray for the Spirit to move...and only the Lord knows where that will take us.

Thanks for all the prayers during our travels!  Now it's back to the States for a week and then on to Brazil.

Peace,

John & Silvia
